CSharp Performance – Cast vs Interface
Writing high performance applications is a challenge since you can do the same thing in so many ways. Almost everything you code can be done in many ways that are slow but can be improved to be faster. But on the contrary to this article is my experience on building high traffic web sites, is that it is almost never the application layer that is slow but almost always the data access and text/XML parsing.
But anyway, I spend so much time on thinking how code can be faster and more slimmed ☺
Since I develop more and more abstract and generic functionality using techniques such as Generics and Interfaces, I think of how this will improve both readability and performance. What I want to show in this article, is the performance benefits of using a Interface as a input type instead of an Object.
Always when you use Object as the parameter data type, to create an abstract or dynamic method you need to Cast the object into your desired class. This cast will be negative on the execution time and also add risk for errors. I also think it is negative on readability since you can’t really see the desired input type.
Performance test:
In this performance test I have a basic class that implements an interface. I have two methods that execute the test methods doing a cast, and using the interface methods.
The test object is created 1.000.000 times for each method, which are looped 10 times to compare execution times. As you can see the fastest way is to use an Interface to execute the method. On my machine the Interface method takes 7-8ms, and the cast method takes 15-22ms.
Here is the code:

Cached JavaScript minification on the fly – ASP.NET and HttpHandler
If you have a lot of external JavaScript files you should always have a minified version of them when you go public. All popular JS frameworks such as JQuery and Prototype have minified versions, often on a CDN. But how do you do when you have a lot of your own code that you need to minify? There are a lot of code libraries that handles the minification such as JSMin and YUI Compressor that compress your .js files to minified .js files so you can upload them to your server.
My problem is that I have a lot of JavaScript files that are often updated and I don’t want to manually minify the files that are updated. So I figured: Why not do it on the fly? Map all *.js requests on the server to a HttpHandler that minifies the file, and returns the new version. Also add a little cache so it only does this once.
So now I don’t need to worry about a thing when it comes to minify JavaScript files, the server takes care of that automatically!
Here is the code
The HttpHandler called JSMinify is invoked on all requests to *.js files. Activate the handler I web.config:
Here is the Handler. As you can see I use the Request.PhysicalPath as the path to the file.
Here is my FileCache class that looks for a file on disk, and adds it to the web cache. The method GetTextFile is overloaded to handle a parser that implements IFileParser. I created IFileParser so I can have custom text parsing before I add the text into the cache. I use the file path as the cache key, and the cache settings are so that the cache will expire when the files is updated.
In the class JSMinifyParser I have a modified version of the popular library called JSMin. The original JSMin converts one file to another, but I want it to read a file and return the minified string version of that file. So what I did was basically to change the StreamWriter to a TextWriter, and made the method return the string.
So that is basically it! What you need to think about is to map *.js file types to be handled ASP.NET in the IIS settings, otherwise the HttpHandler won’t be triggered. Also there are some differences how you add the handler in web.config for IIS6 and IIS7. Here is a lot of usefull info on IIS7 http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/26/installing-and-configuring-iis-70/

Type safe web cache wrapper - ASP.NET
While building a URL mapping routine for my portal, I needed to optimize the loading of member specific URL keys.
For this I use the HttpContext.Current.Cache object that is easily used in the ASP.NET environment. Whats "ugly" with the Cache object is that it takes a object as a input parameter and of course return the cached object as the type of object.
So instead of do alot of type casting, I created a small wrapper class that use generics to handle the object types.
Take a look:

ASP.NET Variables in link - Solved
When I implemented an anti-cache function for my website i discovered that ASP.NET somehow parses <link> tags and makes it impossible to add parameters to the url.
I pass an version number to the url so that I can force new loads of the js and CSS, like this:
Somehow ASP.NET parse the <link> tag and create this ugly code:
The only solution for this was to include CSS like this;
JavaScript includes works perfect, it's just the css links that is parsed :/

Syntax Highlighting on Blogger - A guide that actually works.
I started to look for Syntax Highlighting code today to implement on this blog. Since I code in all kind of languages (JS,C#,AS3,SQL, etc.) I need something that can handle different kind of syntax and also looks good. I found SyntaxHighlighter from Alex Gorbatchev, which looks awesome.
How do can you implement this great code in your Blogger pages? I found a few guides that did not really work that well, so I'll now explain how to do it in five easy steps.
1. Go to your Blogger blog, log in and go to Layout -> Edit HTML.
2. Open another Browser Tab and copy the CSS from this url: http://syntaxhighlighter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Styles/SyntaxHighlighter.css
3. In the edit window on Blogger go to the last line of the inline CSS (located in the HEAD tag) and paste the copied CSS code.
4. Copy this JS code last in the HEAD tag:
(When posting HTML code, remember to replace
5. At the end of the edit window just before the /BODY tag, paste this code:
6. Save! And we're done!

5. At the end of the edit window just before the /BODY tag, paste this code:

dp.SyntaxHighlighter.BloggerMode();

6. Save! And we're done!

SvD vs DN vs Nyhetskanalen
Sorry this one is in swedish...
Under tiden jag jobbar med att lansera vår nya sajt, vars innehåll till stor del innehåller feeds från olika nyhetssajter så ser man det varierande kvalitén i dessa feeds från några av landets största sajter.
Jag har en sida som innehåller widgets med feeds från bland annat Svenska Dagbladet, Dagens Nyheter och TV4's Nyhetskanalen, och som ni ser på bilden vinner klart SvD. Varför? Jo, till att börja med så har DN i den sin senaste artikel en font tagg! Vilken seriös sajt använder 2009 font? Enligt obsoleteskills.com blev den obsolete för 8 år sedan.
Vi går vidare till Nyhetskanalen.se, där vi ser den senaste, absolut hetaste nyheten: Bågjakt blir tillåten i Sverige. Vad hände med beskrivningen? Tomt.
Samma sak tre nyheter ner: Kvinna återfunnen efter 12 år. Här var det heller inte värt att ha någon beskrivning. Dåligt TV4.
SvD åt andra sidan har hyffsade nyheter i sin feed. Den enda kritiken är att de är något korta och helt utan bilder.
